Chapter 161: Pregnant women
After Jiang Luo read the second rule, his expression became a bit strange.
It's the surprise and self-doubt of a perennial unlucky bastard who gets lucky one after another. Jiang Luo can't believe his luck, and the only two things he found in Bai Yefeng's room came in handy.
He looked more and more odd as he took out his pocketbook and counted it, five hundred dollars.
Not too much, but not too little, and in addition to what he used himself, he was able to give it out to another person.
But when he turned his head, he saw Sai Liaoer taking out his wallet and handing out piles of money to the others, proudly patting his chest, "Who doesn't have money? My dream identity is rich, it's enough!"
"......" Jiang Luo instantly recognized the difference between people, he pushed down the feeling of surprise that had just risen, cheekily stuffed the five hundred yuan back into his body, and then came to Sai Liaoer's side to receive a pile of red bills.
"Every twenty minutes, the store doors would open and the shopkeepers would come out of the store, so these shopkeepers are ghosts," Jiang Luo thought, "It's safe for twenty minutes, but after twenty minutes, if the store we are staying in happens to be the one that was drawn, the shopkeepers would kill the customers in the shop first and then run out to kill the people on the street who didn't enter the other shops. will kill the customers in the store, and then go out and kill anyone on the street who isn't in another store."
"Twenty minutes is a lot of time, but who knows where the initial time starts, so we'll just have to see what happens."
After dividing the money, the eight of them immediately dispersed to various clothing stores, looking for the most suitable clothes for themselves.
What kind of clothes suit you best?
Clothes in your size, of course.
Ge Zhu was following behind Zhuo Zhongqiu and Sai Liaoer, intending to move with them. However, when he passed a men's clothing store on the way, he Yu Guang unexpectedly glanced away, and his footsteps suddenly stopped.
In front of the men's clothing store is a transparent glass display wall with a male model made of plastic. The model is dressed in a loose-fitting robe, and at first glance he looks just like his brother, Ge Wuchen.
Ge Wuchen ......
Ge Zhu's eyes well up with complex hatred.
Lost in thought, he thought he saw the male model hook her lips at him.
You look more like Ge Wuchen when you smile.
Ge Zhu woke up and closed his eyes to look again, the corners of the male model s mouth clearly still look like a stiff smile. He hesitated for a moment and raised his steps into the men's clothing store.
There were a dozen or so other anxious-looking customers in the men's store besides him.
Ge Zhu's Yu Guang seems to have looked at the model in the glass case as often as he did, but he saw that the model's body seemed to be slightly sideways toward him.
Ge Zhu froze and wrinkled his nose as he moved closer to the model.
*
On the other side of the room, Jiang Luo's fingers were fastidiously searching for his target among the clothes, and the person he was staying in the same store with was Lu Youyi, the owner of the store, sitting behind the cash register, staring at their every move like a viper growing out of a corner.
Jiang Luo had just finished the first row when a violent alarm suddenly sounded in the mall.
His spirits instantly tightened as he looked up and out.
The lights suddenly went out in a men's clothing store diagonally across the street, and the store's models moved stiffly and turned their heads, their mannequin-like eyes fixed on the store's customers.
A smile finally appeared on the grim face of the boss, who had been sitting still, and he rose from his seat, dragging out a huge axe underneath the table.
The guests who were still picking out their clothes wore looks of horror and despair as they lunged at the closed glass door and pounded on it, "Help!"
"Break down the door, quick!"
"Aaaaahhh the models are moving!"
The customers who were locked up in the other stores looked at them with palpitations.
There was a mixture of celebration and fear in that gaze, but none of them responded to their cries for help.
But Jiang Luo and Lu Youyi's faces changed dramatically.
They saw Ge Zhu in a men's clothing store.
"Did we make a mistake?" Lu Youyi's voice tightened, "Jiang Luo, is that Ge Zhu?"
Jiang Luo's face was stoic, "Yes."
They leaned over the door and looked across. When the alarm sounded, the glass doors of the stores closed automatically, and Jiang Luo and Lu Youyi took iron coat hangers and slammed them against the doors without any damage.
Lu Youyi was so anxious that he banged his hand so hard that it hurt and shouted, "Ge Zhu!"
Jiang Luo turned his head and said with forced anger, "Open the door and let us out."
The shopkeeper coldly watched them smash the door, and sniffed and gloated twice, "This door, I can't open it."
Jiang Luo's fist clenched and creaked as he turned his head expressionlessly to look diagonally across the room.
In the men's clothing store, a massacre had begun between the plastic models and the store owner.
Ge Zhu shielded a child who was being targeted by the models behind him and looked around vigilantly. His feeling just now was right, the models here were all ghosts, or humans made into models by the store owner.
The models all had a hideous scar on the back of their heads, and if they died here, their bodies might as well have been made into mannequins for the store.
Ge Zhu's eyes were heavy, but the model who looked like Ge Wuchen walked straight towards him. Ge Zhu's face froze minutely as he kept retreating while protecting the child, and when there was no way to retreat, he saw a long, thin picket pole. With this thing, he might be able to barely deal with the model.
It couldn't be helped, his own instincts had all disappeared in the dream, so he could only use such a stupid way. Ge Zhu was about to admonish the child to stand still, but the child yanked him hard and exclaimed, "Brother!"
Ge Zhu subconsciously lowered his head towards him, and saw the stern color crossing this child's face, and his hands pushed him hard.
Zhu Ge stumbled backward a few steps when he was caught off guard, a shadow covered his back, and when he looked back, his boss smiled wryly at him, holding up a bloody axe.
The sound of the axe slicing into the flesh was as clear as a ringing in his ears, and Ge Zhu's head rolled twice on the floor, all the way to the floor-to-ceiling window, where he met Jiang Luo's shrinking line of sight, the look of shock not yet gone from his face.
The headless body that spurted out a large amount of blood slowly fell to the ground.
The model with the loose robes on her body moved stiffly around him twice and quickly switched to another target, chasing after a child.
Jiang Luo's expression was stagnant, and his hand was maintained in the position of slamming the door.
Lu Youyi beside him incredulously asked back, "Ge Zhu ...... is dead?"
Diagonally across the street, a thick curtain of blood had hung over the glass door. The store owner and the model quickly finished killing the people in the store, and the door was opened as they wandered out, eyeing the humans in the mall that hadn't yet entered the other stores.
And Ge Zhu's head, still looking at them helplessly across the wide street.
Jiang Luo suddenly felt a wave of regurgitation, this stomach acid surged up swiftly and violently, before this acidity became worse, his hand was gripped tightly by Lu Youyi with great force, Lu Youyi's voice trembled as if he had discovered something even more horrifying, and reached Jiang Luo's ears in an empty voice: "Jiang Luo, Zhuo Zhongqiu and Sai Liaoer are still out there."
Jiang Luo came back to his senses and followed his finger.
Zhuo Zhongqiu grimaced as she tugged Sai Liaoer to the front of the crowd. The clothing store the two of them had just entered was small and quickly checked out, and when they tried to go out to find another store, the alarm went off.
As soon as he saw that something was wrong, Zhuo Zhongqiu started to run away with Sai Liaoer's keen eyes, and they did not see Ge Zhu's death scene.
"This luck is also really great," Zhuo Zhongqiu was bitterly happy and couldn't help but say as he ran, "Sai Liaoer, we can buy lottery tickets when we get out of here."
Lior honestly said, "Dre, is it buying a hundred tickets that won't win two dollars?"
Zhuo Zhongqiu: "......"
"Don't worry," Zhuo Zhongqiu actually had a bottom in his heart, "Since there is a twenty-minute safety period, the ghosts and monsters will also have a limited time to come out and kill people, it should be twenty minutes as well. They spent six minutes in the store, we can make it through another fourteen minutes of running. Sai Liaoer, show the energy you usually have for practicing songs."
Sai Liaoer thought about it and perked up with it, "Zhuo, you're right!"
Fourteen minutes was not hard for those of them who were much more physically fit than ordinary people.
The two of them were fast, and after dodging another plastic model, they saw a pregnant woman with a big belly ahead of them on the left, screaming "help" at them in a pitiful and helpless manner.
"Grass!" Zhuo Zhongqiu instantly grumped, "What the fuck is a pregnant woman doing in such a dangerous place?"
That said, she and Sai Liaoer ran over to her, dragging the panicked pregnant woman forward.
However, the pregnant woman ran very slowly, making Zhuo Zhongqiu and Sai Liaoer's speed also slow down. The three of them gradually fell to the back, seeing that three or five plastic models were about to catch up, Zhuo Zhongqiu gritted his teeth, "Sai Liaoer, you take her and run first. I'll stall for you guys."
"Zhuo!" Sai Liaoer looked back in alarm, Zhuo Zhongqiu was already surrounded by plastic models, he gritted his teeth and took a deep breath, "Can you speed up a bit? We're going to have to run faster."
Sai Liaoer tried his best to encourage the pregnant woman, "Don't be afraid, I will protect you. There is a time limit for the ghosts and monsters to come out, we will be safe if we run away fast enough."
The pregnant woman lifts her face to look at him, and Sai Liaoer is about to flash her a smile when the pregnant woman suddenly yanks him forward. Sai Liaoer fell forward, dazed, his chest pierced by the plastic modeler's arm.
A mouthful of blood spat out of his mouth, his blue eyes confused. The pregnant woman didn't even look at him after she blocked the shot with him, running away without hesitation at a faster speed than before.
"It hurts ......" Sai Liaoer spat out another mouthful of blood, his blue eyes fading to gray, "Death turns out to be so painful ...... "
With great effort, he looked at Zhuo Zhongqiu, who was already lying unresponsive on the ground. Sai Liaoer's heart was overwhelmed with guilt, he wanted to say sorry for letting Zhongqiu die for nothing, but little by little, his head finally hung down lifelessly.
The bodies are growing.
This is the kind of extreme escape scene that Jiang Luo would have found exciting.
But he looked at Sai Liaoer and Zhuo Zhongqiu, who had been turned into corpses, and Ge Zhu, whose head had been chopped off in the clothing store. the pleasure in his heart had changed, as if his internal organs had been stirred up in one piece, and his stomach, disgust, and rage were intertwined. the corners of his mouth slowly pressed down, and his eyes coalesced with melancholy colors.
Humanity, ghosts and monsters, this is what Chi You's ideal country looks like.
If this is what the future looks like, his friends will definitely be the first to be sacrificed for sustenance because of their goodness and principles.
Lu Youyi's words were already choked up, he didn't know whether to comfort Jiang Luo or himself, "Fortunately, this is a dream."
Yeah, well, it's a good thing it was a dream.
But what if it's not a dream anymore?
......
In the end, the only person left to escape outside was a pregnant woman.
The boss raised the axe and laughed as he was about to smash the pregnant woman into mush, the pregnant woman looked at him with fear and anxiety and suddenly trembled, "Wait! Please spare me, I know that the shopkeeper in the mall likes to eat children the most, and I have a child in my belly! As long as you don't kill me, I will definitely bring him to you after I give birth to him, please spare me, please spare me!"
The pregnant woman crawled up on her hands and knees and kowtowed hard towards the boss. With her clean-cut looks, messy hair, and red, swollen eyes from crying, she looked pitiable. But after hearing what she had to say, that pity would only disappear.
The owner's eerie eyes looked at her and then greedily at her stomach, as if debating whether to kill first or wait for the delicious future baby.
But before he could think it out, the alarm in the mall went off once more.
The boss's expression changed, he looked at the pregnant woman unwillingly and warned in a grim tone, "Remember, when you give birth to the child you have to send him to me."
The pregnant woman cried tears of joy and covered her mouth as she kept nodding her head.
The owner and the plastic models returned to the men's clothing store, the owner sat behind the register, the models went back to where they were supposed to stand, and everything looked no different than before.
Various store doors reopened.
Jiang Luo looked at the corpses all over the ground and was out of his mind for a few seconds before calmly picking up his cell phone and checking the time.
"The next 20 minutes is 9:56," he said, "and that's 20 minutes to find our clothes and grab the elevator."
Lu Youyi held back his emotions and nodded through gritted teeth as they deliberately ignored the bodies of their companions and walked to the next clothing store.
Within twenty minutes of this one, the remaining five of them had all found their clothes. Jiang Luo's clothes were the hardest to find, a slim black suit that had been slipped over a store mannequin. After handing over the money to the store owner, they darted to the elevator at the last minute.
Also on the elevator were the pregnant women who killed Sai Liaoer and Zhuo Zhongqiu, and two other apprehensive middle-aged men.
There were no buttons in the elevator, but when the alarm went off after twenty minutes, the elevator closed its doors automatically and kept rising upwards.
2nd floor, 3rd floor ...... The elevator stopped on the 5th floor.
The elevator door opened and was greeted by a red gym sign, two beautiful women in tight-fitting sportswear with curvy bodies stood in front of the elevator door with enthusiastic smiles, and one of the women with straight hair said, "We're going to leave three guests on this floor to experience our fitness packages, oh."
The other curly-haired woman smiled and picked up, "That's right. We have the most positive reviews in the building, we have excellent trainers, state of the art equipment, and can provide you with the best fitness program for you. If you don't come down at this stop, there's no place as safe as ours on the floors above."
The straight-haired woman's eyes were seductive, and her lips as red as painted blood curved up perfectly, "We also have a massage service here, first time guests can experience it for free oh."
The two middle-aged men in the elevator were both a bit perturbed as they hesitantly asked, "Are you really safe here?"
"Of course," the curly-haired woman affirmed, "and if you're lucky, you might even get something special."
As soon as these words were said, the two middle-aged men made up their minds, and they walked out of the elevator together.
With one of the three still missing, Lu Youyi, who prided himself on having the best luck, volunteered, "I'll go."
Jiang Luo glanced at the pregnant woman next to her, who was carefully tucked away behind everyone else and didn't seem the least bit impressed with what the two women at the gym were saying.
Also, how else is a pregnant woman supposed to work out?
He glanced toward the pregnant woman's stomach.
Jiang Luo tried to stop Lu Youyi, but none of the remaining people, be it Wen Renlian, Ye Xun or Kuang Zheng, had as much luck as Lu Youyi, and his own was particularly poor. In the end, he just handed Lu Youyi the gym membership card in his pocket, "Wait for our news."
Lu Youyi gave a confident smile and gave them an "OK" until the elevator slowly closed, then he turned to look at the gym with a hint of apprehension.
It should ...... not be that scary here, right?
*
This time, the elevator kept going up and up.
The speed of the elevator was slow, stopping at some floors and skimming over others. Jiang Luo watched the number of floors approaching "10" and turned his head to look intently at the pregnant woman.
The pregnant woman stiffened at his look, and there was a viciousness flashing in her eyes that turned soft again.
"What do you keep looking at me for, little brother?"
Jiang Luo smiled at her and suddenly reached out his hand to touch the pregnant woman's belly.
The bony fingers were slightly separated, and this one hand touched right in the center of her bellybutton, as if at any moment it could go through her skin and flesh and harden the inside out in general horror.
The pregnant woman's pupils tightened and she snapped, "What are you doing!"
Wen Renlian and Ye Xun, who were still drowning in grief, looked back at Jiang Luo in surprise.
"It's a little baby in here," Jiang Luo looked gentle, his eyes hanging down, his long eyelashes falling into faint shadows, "I don't know if it's a boy or a girl yet."
The pregnant woman kept protecting her stomach, trying to avoid his hand. But this beautiful-looking youth was like a demon, his hand stayed firmly over the pregnant woman's stomach, and the slightest hint of coldness rose up the pregnant woman's spine.
This hand suddenly squeezed hard on her stomach.
The pregnant woman lost her voice: "You guys pull him away! Don't let him touch my belly! My stomach hurts, my stomach ......"
Wen Renlian and Ye Xun hurriedly pulled Jiang Luo's arm, anxious, "Jiang Luo, we know that you are saddened in your heart, but let go of your hand, Zhongqiu and Sai Liaoer's deaths have nothing to do with the child in the belly!"
"A child?" Jiang Luo made a few noises, "That's only if she really has a child in her belly, but look at her, is that a child in her belly?"
The companions hurriedly glanced toward the pregnant woman's belly and were so shocked that they forgot to pull Jiang Luo.
Only to see the pregnant woman's stomach hard by Jiang Luo pinched the depression, this is not the stomach can do things, that is clearly ......
Jiang Luo's hand was so strong that a cotton pillow abruptly fell to the ground from the dress the pregnant woman was wearing.
